On July 1st, the young changemakers of tomorrow took the stage at YCIS Chongqing's second annual TEDx event. Twenty-eight students from the school delivered captivating TED-style speeches, sharing their "ideas worth spreading" with the audience.

The TEDx CCA programme challenged students to step outside their comfort zones. Through intensive preparation, they learned to craft compelling narratives, connect with personal stories, and convey powerful messages. Most importantly, they conquered their stage fright to confidently share their unique perspectives.

"Every student exceeded our expectations," remarked Mr Hodgson, TEDx CCA Organizer, "They worked hard, pushed their boundaries, and showed us the transformative power of courage and perseverance."

The TEDx event underscored YCIS Chongqing's commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically excellent, but also possess the critical thinking and communication skills to shape the future. As one student eloquently expressed, "We have ideas worth sharing - and the confidence to share them with the world."
